Clippers Vs. Nets 11-23-12 Official Game Thread

Clippers Vs. Nets Game Preview
By NICOLINO DIBENEDETTO
Posted Nov 22 2012 10:46PM
Chris Paul and Deron Williams took the blame for recent defeats by their respective teams.
Fault may not matter this time, but one of these star point guards is about to suffer another loss.
Paul and the Los Angeles Clippers will try to beat Williams' Brooklyn Nets on the road for just the second time in 14 tries Friday night.
Paul is vital to Los Angeles' success, ranking second in the NBA with 9.9 assists per game, and tied for second with 2.4 steals.
He's also averaging 15.6 points, but didn't come close to....

bounce back game for everyone. DJ better stick to lopez cause his mid range jumper is DEADLY. And blake needs to play some ball, no more of this passive BS. we know cp3 will being it, so will jamal, barnes, and bledsoe.

Man DJ is learning that sweet charity stripe stroke! If CP3 comes and makes half his shots,and we play like we did last night, we'll win!

Nets have lost 2 in a row so they're coming to the game pissed off and ready to prove something like the clippers. This should be another highly contested game

the clips need to take care of the ball, make their open shots and ft's. if they can establish defensive intensity we can win tomorrow night. its time to start another win streak

Push the tempo Nets love the halfcourt slow down. Deron vs Paul has not gone Pauls way very often we need to change that and get a big win. Vinny should consider starting Odom so that Barnes can maintain the second unit with Turiaf in his old spot

Looking for Blake to own Humphries, and CP3 is going to be sharp.

Dude humphries and Lopez, have such a slow game, Jordan and Griffin should dominate them offense and defense, and Brooklyn when i watched it looked like they had no offensive system in place, kinda like we looked last night, We have to come back to the usual offense and defense that we USUALLY play! AND WE'LL BLOW THEM OUT!

Yea because Chris Paul is the only reason why the Clippers aren't 11-0. Come on.

We totally need a facepalm smilycon.

Team is wearing the sweet blue jerseys tonight. Best jerseys in the league IMO. We can't lose!

We got this! Starters won't need to play in the 4th so they can be ready for Atlanta tomorrow night.

Al Horford's little bro will be waiting for us. Hope the team doesn't get distracted.

yeah we may not have that great a time with rotations. Butler may still be out due to his shoulder and barnes has some issue with his finger.

Paul had a bad game and everyone else stepped up towards the end if Paul plays better we win last game there is nothing wrong with his post.

Chris paul was the reason why we lost to OKC, he couldn't make anything, the rest of the players played pretty good, if they keep that up and CP3 bounces back we should win, that's what I meant, I meant no disrespect to CP3, he just had a bad night!

I think this is going to be a great game for the Clippers. I'm sure CP3 was just having an off night against OKC (but come on we should be happy with the way our guys kept playing hard and stayed in the game even when Paul was shooting garbage, with a Paul on his game we would of won that game easily but to see even without him having a good game we can still hang with one of the top contenders in the west) and will bounce back this game after a nice rest and watching plenty of footage. I expect DJ to have a big game as well as Blake, everyone else I expect to keep playing the way they have which has been nothing short of fantastic.

^^^Madelyn Burke tweeted a picture from the team shoot around this morning and Butler was in his practice uni and stretching. I bet he gives it a shot tonight. But Barnes will be in quick if Butler isn't playing well.

Nice, Butler is in. I hope he can get us off to a hot start early, but I agree with others, if he's not playing well early... Barnes, baby!

I hate when CP3 phases BG out on the PnR. Cp3 ignores BG on some easy shots. Then you see BG rebound and decides to do it himself for the and1. he even motioned Butler to get out of the way. If CP3 keeps doing that, I hope BG does more of that.

Hollins and Blake sandwiched Deron Williams as if he was a burger patty.

Nets is the highest scoring team in the 1st and we survived Lopez scoring. Now it's time to see if they can survive our bench and 3rd quarter

Can someone clarify the clear path foul? Deron fouled Blake and he didn't even have the ball. Shouldn't that have been an intentional foul? Free throws plus ball, right?

This is gonna be a hood game but i see us destroying them in the second half. And that was a nasty block by Blake, what the hell was Dwill thinking? I guess it was worth the risk... Imagine if he dunked on them. damn
